So glad I finally got to work with my sewing machine,have this relaxing time to post, and say hi to you guys.Sorry if I have disappointed any of you by not postingin so long, but I was having a tough time trying toget used to my new schedule here.

After going through all the crazy registering thing,I made a decision to take 7 classes this semester.The most classes I've taken in a semester in the pastis 4... Yes, I know it will be busy and crazy at times.I don't know how much time I will be able to allocatefor my crafting and blogging (which I enjoy a ton), but hopefully I'll get better at time management andcome here to say hi every once a while!I just LOVE communicating with crafting people here!!!

Oh so this is what I finished this morning (and now in my shop.)I kinda wanted to work on something I am used toand can be done very quickly. I missed making the patchwork bag that I gave for my sister, so I decided to make a similar one.

Piecing square patchworks is a lot of fun!I used the same 16 kinds of fabric for the back and frontsurface, but it gives a little different impression depending on how they are arranged. Don't you think?Most of them come from my fabric shopping trip in Japan,and some of the others are vintage fabric that I adore.

I realized while working in process..."Hey, isn't it going to be a reversible bag..?"and yes it did come out reversible! Woo hoo!Maybe next tutorial?..hmm...

By the way, thanks so much for joining this flickr group! I smile looking at cute fabric baskets being next toeach other. If you've made anything based on my three sewing tutorials, please feel absolutely free to join and share your creations there!!

I love it. Your ideas are fabulous. They take off like wild fire! Your use of fabric is part of the reason that gets us so excited. I love the use of color and depth your fabrics lend to projects. I have a growing Japanese fabric stash and I love them so much. I consider myself a colector now. Can't wait. I hope for the tutorial. I know how busy you must be.

Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about information and love learning more on this. If possible, as you gain expertise, It is extremely helpful for me. would you mind updating your blog with more information?
